Because prom only happens once and it is usually a cherished memory of many a teenage girl, some have no qualms about spending for expensive prom dresses to impress their friends. But for some, a prom dress is too expensive to be indulged.

Good prom dresses have prices that range from $100-$500. For the thrifty, there are dresses that are available at a much lower price, think $75 or even less! Many stores stock up on inexpensive prom dresses when prom season rolls in.

This season, the most popular styles are the satin gown, sequined gowns, and little black dresses. Other styles available are strapless gown, asymmetrically-cut hem, and short prom dresses. For those who feel a bit more daring, you can buy a dress with ruffles and lace and pull it off with grace!

The Internet is ready and willing to lend a helping hand in your hunt for prom dresses at a low cost. Many suppliers sell their prom dresses on the internet for a lower price, so you could choose and pick what you want. You can even get bargain prices on some prom dresses as a way of attracting your attention and loyalty. Some online stores also offer customized dresses based on what you want and the available options. Furthermore, if it doesn't fit you, these dresses allow for alterations so that you can ensure that your prom gown will suit you. Designers of prom dresses who enjoy popularity are Joyani, Anna Scott Designs, and Alfred Angelo. Emerging competition for your attention include Forever Yours, Cassandra Stone, Karen Miller, and Haley Nicole, among others.

Here are some questions that you should ask yourself when browsing prom dresses on auction sites:

Are the prom dress photos the sellers own?

Some sellers will use photos of a brand's prom dresses even though they have no connection whatsoever to that brand. It's usually easy to spot if you're familiar with the brands' collections.

You should seriously question buying from a company who tries to pass other brand's photos off as their own. You should ask yourself why they aren't using their own photos.

Has the photo been edited?

It's also worth baring in mind that, even if the photos appear to be the sellers own, some sellers rely heavily on digital image manipulation. Take a close look at the seller's photos and you may be able to spot some of the tell tale signs, such as finding that the dress has been cut out of another photo.

Each year hundreds of girls fall victim to dubious overseas companies selling prom dresses via online auction sites. Originally tempted by amazing prices, girls encounter disappointments ranging from their prom gown being the wrong color to receiving an appalling quality dress that looks nothing like the photo.

Understanding the risksSo why can buying prom dresses on auction sites be such a risky business? It all comes down to the nature of the item. Prom dresses are complex and delicate items of clothing. Reputable prom brands only work with factories that have the necessary skills, equipment and expertise to make prom gowns. However, some auction site sellers will list prom gowns even though their factory doesn't have the skills necessary to make them. The result is a dress that looks shabbily made and fits poorly.

Quality control is also major an issue in many factories. While reputable brands are able to ensure the quality of their prom dresses, some auction sellers are not. Buyers do not just risk receiving an ill-fitting dress; they may receive one that literally falls apart.

In some cases a seller may intend to produce accurate copies from another brand's photograph but ultimately fail because they don't have the skills or facilities necessary to do so. In the very worst cases sellers have no intention of delivering a prom dress that looks like the photograph.

What can I do?

Here are some questions that you should ask yourself when browsing prom dresses on auction sites:

Are the prom dress photos the sellers own?

Some sellers will use photos of a brand's prom dresses even though they have no connection whatsoever to that brand. It's usually easy to spot if you're familiar with the brands' collections.

You should seriously question buying from a company who tries to pass other brand's photos off as their own. You should ask yourself why they aren't using their own photos.

Has the photo been edited?

It's also worth baring in mind that, even if the photos appear to be the sellers own, some sellers rely heavily on digital image manipulation. Take a close look at the seller's photos and you may be able to spot some of the tell tale signs, such as finding that the dress has been cut out of another photo.

What are you expecting?

People browsing auction sites often get very excited about the low price prom dresses being offered. But the old adage is true and you do get what you pay for. If you decide to buy a copy of your dream dress, don't get your hopes up that it will look like the original. Differences in materials and skill ensure that, even in the best cases, copied prom dresses don't look (or fit) like originals.

So next time you're browsing prom dresses, take a moment to think about the deal on offer and the risks involved. Don't fall victim to unscrupulous sellers who will turn your night to remember into a night to forget.

Many girls dream of going to Prom wearing a designer prom dress and looking like their favorite Hollywood star. If there's one gown that can realize that dream it's a Jovani prom dress. But, unless you're careful in your selection of gown, you could be making a very costly mistake.Jovani prom dresses have it all. You can choose a classic prom style of ball gown, with wide flowing skirts or figure hugging mermaid dresses; or you can go for something altogether more removed from prom and choose a modern outfit like a short cocktail dress with plunging back.

Since founding the fashion house in New York in 1980, Saul Maslavi has become a world renowned designer of beautiful dresses. His artistic genius, combined with exquisite fabrics and colors has made his gowns very sort after, from Prom Queens to Hollywood movie stars.

A Jovani prom dress comes in many styles but it always comes with class and femininity. Wearing one of this company's creations can make a girl look gorgeous on her big day.

However, the gowns don't come cheap and many girls make the mistake of choosing something that is entirely inappropriate for their body shape. Instead of making the girl look beautiful it can work the other way and detract from her own physical attributes. So many young women choose a designer prom dress that is the wrong shape for their body shape. Whether you wear a Jovani or a cheap department store gown, one thing is crucial; you must choose the right dress that will accentuate your attributes while de-emphasizing those parts you're more sensitive about.

If you're Pear shaped - and the majority of women are - you should consider an A-line or an Empire style of gown. These are great at accentuating a smaller bust whilst de-emphasizing larger hips.

If you're the opposite shape - Triangular - then avoid a Jovani gown with a sweetheart necklines as these emphasize the bust area; instead choose one with a V-neck as this draws the eye away from the bust area.

The Hourglass figure is considered the ideal but, if your bust is on the larger size, you might consider avoiding necklines that accentuate this area. An Hourglass figure can look great in just about any style however, from Column, Mermaid or Traditional. If you have this body shape then why not try a figure hugging Jovani prom dress that will show off your curves.

If your body is Willow shaped or you're either short or tall, then consider the more modern Column style of dress; these can look really sophisticated and sexy at the same time. Even if your bust size is small consider a strapless gown and, if you are slim, definitely show off your arms.

Prom dresses by Jovani are arguably the most sort-after of designer prom dresses. But before you go and buy, consider if the dress you've been longing for will complement your figure. And, if at all possible, try on the gown before you order it. Keep an open mind; many girls are surprised at how dresses they had never consider buying were the ones that actually made them look gorgeous.
